About the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Futures (ARC-IFC)
The Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Futures (ARC-IFC) is a nationally funded research centre located in the Faculty of Business, Economics and Law (BEL) at The University of Queensland (UQ). Led by UQ, the Centre is a consortium of seven Australian universities including the University of Melbourne, the University of Technology Sydney, the Australian National University, the University of the Sunshine Coast, Charles Darwin University and University of Western Australia. The Centre is entirely Indigenous led and includes 18 Chief Investigators and 5 international Partner Investigators.
The Centre aims to investigate and improve the life chances of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders by operationalising Indigenous knowledges in unique transdisciplinary research to enhance our understanding about the complex nature of intergenerational inequity. The Centre expects to change the way Indigenous inequities are perceived particularly in relation to understanding its complexity and cross-sectoral nature.
The Centre will be entirely led by Indigenous researchers working with communities, government agencies and practitioners to strengthen the delivery of outcomes and linkages intentionally focused on all four of the National Agreement Close The Gap-2020's Priority Reform areas (NA-CTG2020).
Significantly, the Centre will also build capacity and experience of the next generation Indigenous researchers. The Centre will operationalise a new Indigenous social research framework and apply innovative cross-sector methods to reveal how inequity is perpetuated. This essential program of research will also highlight how Indigenous communities are shaping their own futures despite the legacy of past and current policies and programs.
The three key research themes of the Centre are: Law and Justice; Education and Economies; and Health and Well-Being.
